ABSTRACT
Robust and interpretable image reconstruction is central to imageology applications in clinical practice. Prevalent deep networks, with strong learning ability to extract implicit information from data manifold, are still lack of prior knowledge introduced from mathematics or physics, leading to instability, poor structure interpretability and high computation cost. As to this issue, we propose two prior knowledge-driven networks to combine the good interpretability of mathematical methods and the powerful learnability of deep learning methods. Incorporating different kinds of prior knowledge, we propose subband-adaptive wavelet iterative shrinkage thresholding networks (SWISTA-Nets), where almost every network module is in one-to-one correspondence with each step involved in the iterative algorithm. By end-to-end training of proposed SWISTA-Nets, implicit information can be extracted from training data and guide the tuning process of key parameters that possess mathematical definition. The inverse problems associated with two medical imaging modalities, i.e., electromagnetic tomography and X-ray computational tomography are applied to validate the proposed networks. Both visual and quantitative results indicate that the SWISTA-Nets outperform mathematical methods and state-of-the-art prior knowledge-driven networks, especially with fewer training parameters, interpretable network structures and well robustness. We assume that our analysis will support further investigation of prior knowledge-driven networks in the field of ill-posed image reconstruction.
